First Look: The Amazing Spider-Man’s Nemesis, Green Goblin

Amazing Spider-Man

We finally get a good look at Green Goblin as played by Dane DeHaan in the upcoming _Amazing Spider-Man 2_. It isn’t pretty, but I kind of like it.

Amazing Spider-Man Green Goblin

Sooooo this is a little ridiculous but you know what? I kind of like it. I have pretty low expectations for this movie but I will say that I do like that they’re not just putting a suit on Dane DeHaan, once he transforms into the Goblin there really appears to be no going back. The way people get powers in this movie is via splicing DNA so I can only assume that he gets multiple things spliced into his own and it gives him great power but also messes up his body and face. I haven’t seen any footage or read anything, that’s just my guess at this point.

I like that they are taking that chance though. There’s no telling how much screen time Goblin will actually get (there are three villains in the movie after all) but having it so that he can’t just take off a mask and blend into the background makes the character way more interesting to me because it makes physically Peter’s opposite as well as philosophically.

The Amazing Spider-Man 2 is out 2nd May.
